"But the real interunit dependencies depend on the compiler options.
If you're compiling with gnat/gnatmake without inlining enabled, but
you have the pragmas scattered throughout your source code, then you
will get some unnecessary recompilation, won't you?"

No, of course not. The pragma Inline's represent *permission* to create
dependencies, not a requirement to do so, and as clearly documented in 
the gnat users guide, if you do not use -gnatn, then pragma Inline is
ignored.
